Warhammer 40K Online A MMORPG based on Games Workshops popular science fiction table top miniature war game.

World of Warcraft Is a MMORPG based on high fantasy. Currently the biggest and most popular one. I play and my favorite.

Left 4 Dead Play online with other players in groups up to 4 people. Not a true MMORPG but you can interact with other players. This is a horror/survival based game and is great. It is kind of set up like you are in a zombie movie. Great graphics and terrific setting, lighting and effects make it a very creepy game to play. Tons O Fun.
